GVA Colloquium on Algebraic Geometry





The national research group Geometry on Algebraic Varieties (GVA) is organizing a series of colloquia to be held in some of the Italian universities which are GVA-nodes during the period october 2005 - november 2006.

The colloquia will concern some of the most important themes in Algebraic Geometry, possibly some other scientific activities will take place at the same time. A provisional list of speakers is as follows:
